The room was fine but the bed was not comfortable at all. It was very soft and if you have a bad back I would not recommend staying here. It was small but I expected it to be based on the pictures and the room we selected. The hotel is close to town so you can walk to most restaurants and shops. There was an issue with the air conditioner but it was addressed pretty quickly via a phone call and a reset of the system on-line.

The SailMaker House is a cozy hotel that is very representative of the local buildings. It is on a quiet side street but a 3 minute walk to the downtown shopping area. There are lots of excellent food options, very cute boutiques and 2nd hand stores, lots of music venues and bars. The nearby park (5 min walk) offers summer concerts outdoors - a very chill vibe.
Hotel host was very nice. There is a cute shared living room where you can read books or chill. There is coffee and snacks in the entrance as well as water and ice.

We stayed at The Sailmaker’s House for 1 night while in town for our son’s college orientation at UNH. We wanted to stay somewhere that was within walking distance to everything Portsmouth has to offer and this fit the bill. The building is beautiful and the rooms are comfortable, updated and very clean. A small group of older people were also staying there and had some pre-dinner wine together in the lovely sitting room near the lobby. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Old house charm outweighed by noisy sign

Strange place. All interaction done through the internet. No staff on premises. For 3 nights we were in a room reached by steep stairs that were more like a ladder. Right outside our window was the big wooden hotel sign banging and squeaking all night long. Breakfast was a handful of instant oatmeal cups on a counter downstairs. Not sure how this place got such a high rating.

Third time staying at this charming New England Inn. The rooms are well appointed, nicely decorated, and clean. The common area is beautiful, inviting, and they provide coffee and tea around the clock, as well as snacks. There is free parking on site, for one vehicle. However, be mindful that if you arrive very late, and the Inn is full, you may need to park down the road. But the town provides free parking a very short distance away, for up to 72 hours… No issues finding a spot there… what I love most about this in, is the location. While many of the bigger name hotels are on the opposite side of the city, the side of the city in which the sale makers is located is much more quaint and has proximity to historic sites. Even better, if you are a runner or enjoy long walks, you are closer to walk to Castle Island, which is a really cool place to visit. Even better, the price is at this end are very competitive… Particularly in comparison to some of the other hotels. Highly recommend if you have the opportunity to stay here to do so.

Walkable, adorable stay

Adorable, centrally located place in Portsmouth. The doors are all key codes, so we got a text saying our room was ready before check in. Our code wasn’t working, so I called and they helped us out right away. Our room was adorable with a comfortable king sized bed. No fridge or anything in the room, but there was a communal fridge downstairs with juice and snacks available. The Sailmaker’s House was centrally located, so didn’t spend a lot of time in the room because we were walking all around Portsmouth. Very walkable!

Amazing place to stay near downtown Portsmouth

I don’t want to give it a good review because I don’t want people to know about it, but it was just amazing. Great location (walking distance from downtown Portsmouth) in a historic district. Only drawback was that it was a little too warm at night (80 degree day in May) and the thermostat couldn’t go below 67. The room was divided into two separate areas and the cool couldn’t really make it to the bedroom portion. Nevertheless, amazing place and were definitely coming back.

Room was very cozy and the lounge areas were well stocked with teas, coffees and snacks. Especially nice to have local tea from White Heron.
Inn is very conveniently located. 5 min walk from Market Square and Prescott Park.

Second floor in front has very steep stairs so be aware if you're mobility limited.

Great stay

Very clean. Lots of pillows! Beautiful old house with nice housekeepers. Close to everything so I did a lot of walking and let the car rest.

Very comfortable and well-located inn. Very much self-serve, as there is no staff on site most of the time. But the hotel manager is very responsive via text. Room and bathroom were very modern and clean. The hotel is close to everything in downtown Portsmouth. I’d stay there again!

We loved staying here and will come again for sure. The location was great for walking into town for shopping and dining but also was right next to Strawberry Banke Museum andPrescott Park which are also wonderful places just to walk. Portsmouth is a lovely place.

This is a one-of-a-kind Pension style hotel. The room accommodations are excellent, especially given the 17th Century venue. Today's staffing challenges means no in-house staff, no all-guest amenities, and extensive use of Cell Phones for all transactions. Once you understand and accept that, the rest is easy. The property is within walking distance of a range of restaurants & night spots. There is nice boutique shopping within a few blocks. Other local attractions are within a few minutes by car. If your destination is Downtown Portsmouth, NH, this would be a fine choice.

Sailmaker’s House is in a perfect location near lots of great food, near Market St if you want that, but also easy to avoid the crowds and walkable to lots. Loved this location. Well decorated, comfortable common spaces. We will be back.
